TransPerfect Client Support Associate reviews

I am writing this review to deter anyone who is applying/thinking about applying for a job at TransPerfect to STOP in his/her tracks and withdraw the application immediately. I can honestly say that I have never felt more psychologically abused in my life. I attended a top tier university, graduated with honors, and arrived at TransPerfect ready and willing to embark on a fulfilling career. How stupid was I. From day one, every tiny mistake I made was pointed out and exaggerated to the point where I had no time to do my job because I constantly had to justify/correct tiny "errors" that even from an objective viewpoint, were absolutely negligible. I was mandated to copy my manager on every single email I sent to a client/the production team, and without fail, in seconds I would receive a response informing me how many "mistakes" I made and how they needed to be fixed immediately. This never stopped. For over half a year, I felt undervalued, unintelligent, and thoroughly unappreciated. I did my absolute best, but that was never good enough. According to my manager and the "higher ups" such as the VPs (who are mostly sadistic sociopaths), I was utterly and completely expandable. Thus, I decided to make TransPerfect the expendable party and promptly evacuated. I am now working at a company in which I am trusted to get my work done, only get (maximum) 10 emails a day (none of which are micromanaging in tone), and receive ONLY constructive criticism/positive remarks on my work. I also earn significantly more a year for a job that is far less demanding and requires that I only be there as long as it takes for me to get the job done. That's how a job should be...and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Recent grads, PLEASE heed my advice. No matter how much you think you need a job straight out of college, this company isn't worth it. You will find better over the summer, or even by the following winter. All my fellow graduates have done so. You can too!
